From St James Park to the Euros: Tracking Exeter City Academy Players on the International Stage

As Europe’s biggest stars regroup for international duty, national team rosters for Euro 2024 are filled with familiar names - few of which trace their beginnings to the lower tiers of English football.

Exeter City’s academy may not make headlines, but its graduates are making tournament squads. And while attention builds toward summer fixtures and early Champions League predictions on many of the most popular and secure betting platforms, another narrative deserves recognition: players who started at St James Park and are now representing their countries on the international...

Northampton Saints 8 Exeter Chiefs 3

If 2015 produced some sparkling rugby from the Exeter Chiefs, then the New Year began with little fizz for Rob Baxter’s side as they slipped to defeat at Franklin’s Gardens.

Mike Haywood’s first half try, plus a penalty from Northampton fly-half JJ Hanrahan, proved sufficient enough reward for the Saints to see off Devon’s finest.

In a contest which failed to live up to all the pre-match hype, the scant consolation for the travelling Tribe on a miserable afternoon was that their side were able to at least grab a losing bonus point.

Gareth Steenson’s late penalty did...

Chiefs side to face Northampton Saints

Rob Baxter has warned his high-flying Exeter Chiefs side to prepare for a backlash of sorts from Northampton Saints ahead of today's (FRI) New Year’s Day clash at Franklin’s Gardens (3pm).

The East Midlanders crashed to their fourth Aviva Premiership defeat of the season last Saturday, going down 25-23 to previously winless London Irish at the Madejski Stadium.

At the same time, the Chiefs were notching up their sixth top flight win in seven starts, seeing off visiting Sale Sharks at Sandy Park as they maintained their pursuit at the top of defending champions Saracens....

Chudley not complacent

Will Chudley says Exeter Chiefs need no reminding of the threat posed by Northampton Saints in their latest Aviva Premiership encounter this Friday (3pm).

Although the Midlanders are without a win in their last three games, Jim Mallinder’s side are always a tough nut to crack on home soil and Chudley is expecting a backlash of sorts following their surprise loss at London Irish last time out.

“Going up there is very much like Sandy Park,” said the scrum-half. “It’s always a great atmosphere, they have very passionate supporters and they have a great team. We know it’s going...

Chiefs dealt another injury blow

Exeter Chiefs have been dealt another untimely injury blow with the news that lock Damian Welch is set for an extended spell on the sidelines.

Head coach Rob Baxter has confirmed the 33-year-old lock is to be ruled out for several months after picking up a chest injury in the recent European Champions Cup game away to ASM Clermont Auvergne.

Welch, who is undergoing surgery today on the pectoral muscle injury, has been a key member of Baxter’s side since arriving from the Scarlets back in the summer of 2012.

Steeno delighted to be in 100 Club

Gareth Steenson admitted he was ‘delighted’ to cap another telling milestone in his playing career with a notable victory against Sale Sharks in the Aviva Premiership.

The Irishman marked his 100th Premiership appearance for the Devon club by playing a key role in his side’s 33-17 victory at a sold out Sandy Park.

Scrum-half Will Chudley helped himself to a brace of tries for Rob Baxter’s team, whilst there were also touchdowns for Thomas Waldrom, James Short and Tom Johnson.

Exeter’s win - their sixth in seven top flight starts this season - helped the Chiefs to...
